We have been able to be in control of our finances.
We have been able to be in control of our finances, instead of the other way around. Less disagreements about what to spend where, we just check the budget and category to see what is available and make an informed decision as to spend or not to spend. Love rolling with the punches when needed. Less worries about unexpected things that come up, as we have it covered.

After 1 year of using YNAB
After 1 year, YNAB has helped me determine what my unnecessary expenditures were and told me where my money's mostly going. This has definitely improved my spending habits and I hope my savings are also going to improve very soon!

YNAB is the answer...
YNAB is the tool I've been searching for since I was 22 years old and struggling to manage my variable income! I am 30 and have been enjoying the platform for almost 2 years. The podcast and online support is so helpful for my mindset around "budgeting". Thank you!

Flexible
The best budget planning app that is getting better and better. I’ve tested many other budget planning but YNAB is most flexible and truly understanding people’s needs. Using it for over a year and very happy about how calm I became by not remembering what I need to spent my money on.

Seriously easy to use and super helpful!
We had a bank that wasn’t easy to connect, and the support team created a way to make it happen. This program is so helpful to keeping to a budget. Everything works so intuitively. And we just don’t know how we survived without it before!
